2005 500 HO Sportsman will not backup uphill. It happened twice now. What's the deal?

Are you pushing in the yellow reverse override button while in reverse?

Yes you need to hold it in while in reverse.

What it is is a safty feature to keep you or someone else from going to fast in reverse. Also you must hold the override button in while you are in reverse using the AWD or you AWD will not work.

If you don't like holding it in there is a mod kit to use a toggle switch instead of the yellow button. Just do a search on ebay they are really cheap.
